Isla de Roatan

Den spansktalende ø Roatan ligger i Caribien ud for Mellemamerikas kyst.

På jagt efter paradis? Find det på vores krydstogt til Isla de Roatan, Honduras

Den spansktalende ø Roatan ligger i Caribien ud for Mellemamerikas kyst. Roatan er den største af øerne i Hondurasbugten, men den er alligevel lille og let tilgængelig. Øen er 60 km lang og mindre end 8 km på det bredeste sted.

Denne idylliske ø og det krystalklare vand lokker mange dykkere til, ikke mindst fordi Isla de Roatan ligger på det mesoamerikanske barriererev, det næststørste koralrev i verden. MSC's krydstogtskibe anløber dette øparadis på vores krydstogter i Caribien. Forlad krydstogtskibet i havnen, gå i land og udforsk øen! Vores fantastiske udvalg af udflugtspakker giver dig de bedste priser på ture og seværdigheder og hjælper dig til at få mest muligt ud af din tid her.

Ivrige dykkere i alle aldersgrupper kan udforske Roatans vidunderlige undervandsverden, idet vi tilbyder en række vandaktiviteter her, fx dykning, snorkling og sejlads. De, som i stedet bare vil slappe af, kan forlade skibet for at dase på en af Roatans mange flotte sandstrande med meget fint sand. De er blandt de bedste i Caribien. Nyd lidt lokal kultur og tag med på en rundtur på øen. Du kan opleve Roatans hovedstad Coxen Hole og de travle fiskerbyer French Harbour og Little Venice.

Naturelskere kan beundre den eksotiske fauna i den frodige Carambola Gardens: 120.000 m2 fredet regnskov, utrolige orkideer, krydderplanter, lægeurter og hjemsted for de kvikke La La-aber og sludrende papegøjer. Rejser du med børn? Isla de Roatans fantastiske Iguana Farm kan hurtigt blive et højdepunkt i børnenes ferie. Her kan de klappe og røre de venligtsindede leguaner og lade sig forbløffe af andre beskyttede lokale dyr som aber, araer og havskildpadder.
